Instead, the pages are hidden away - security through obscurity.  I want to
be able to find them.

For a tool, I am first going to look at elza from www.stoev.org before
writing anything.  I recon it will be easy to check if a search returns a
404, 403 or 401.

However, I am keen to avoid having to brute force directiories.  Does
anyone know of a list of well-used or default admin pages and ports for web
servers (or other systems for that matter).

If not, perhaps folks could post any that they have come across to this
list so a collection can be compiled.

Thanks,

Julian
